@ Mr.. J. Frank Morrison, warden of the Bal
timore city Jail, resigned on Monday last, Mayor
Hodges having appointed board of visitors to
that institution who are not politically in accord
with him. Mr.. Morrison, who is president of the
Crescent Club and recognized power in city pol
itics, has taken strong grounds for reform within
the party and has pledged the influence of his
club to secure that end. The stand he has taken
is not agreeable to what is known as the Irregular
wing of the party and the result may be serious
breach between the two. 1t is asserted by some
that Mr.. Morrison will join forces with ex-Gov
Hamilton's reformers, but his friends say that he
will make his fight within the party lines and will
abide the consequences. The Crescent Club num-
bers about two thousand members, many of whom
are among the most prominent citizens of Balti-
more, and if the club goes into the movement in
body it would exert powerful influence.

and Banker.
Washington Letter.

Washington Letter.
Right opposite the Treasury in Fifteenth street
stands a large white marble building, owned and
occupied by the Citizens Bank Last week I en-
tered the large offices of this financial institution
to geek for its president and cordially receiv-
ed by him. If had come to deposit consider
able sum of money, doubtful whether to trust a
large amount to a single institution, after having
met and seen John A. j. Creswell, the president
of this bank, would be willing to deposit there
the treasures of the vaults across the road. The
man bears imprinted on his countenance honesty
and integrity, and his long honorable public Ca
reer prove that my impression is correct. John
A. j. Creswell born 1928 ut Port Deposit,
Cecil county, Md, graduated 1S4S at Dickinson
College, Carlisle, Pa, and was admitted to the bar
of Maryland in 1850. In 1851 he was elected a
member of the Maryland House of Delegates and
made adjutant- general for the State in 1862; in
1868 he became representative for the First dis
trict of Maryland to the Thirty eighth Congress.
In 1865 he became United States Senator. At the
beginning Of Gen. Grants term in 1859 he was an.
pointed Postmaster General. Although DESTROYS
of Withdrawing from the Cabinet at the end of the
first term of Gen. Grant, he accepted his second
appointment in obedience to the Presidents desire,
and continued in Office until June "a, 1874, when
he resigned. Gen. Grants reply to the letter of
resignation is the best evidence of his esteem of
Mr.. CreswelPs services:
"ExEcUTIvE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, June 9th, 1874.
"THE Hon. j. A. J. CREswELL, POSTMASTER
GENERAL-My Dear Sir AS expressed to you
verbally this morning, when you rendered your
resignation of the office of Postmaster. General it
is with deepest regret to me that you should have
felt such q course necessary. You are the last of
the original Cabinet named by me as was en-
tering upon my present duties, and it makes me
feel as if old associations we're being broken up
that hoped might be continued through my
Official life. In separating officially have two
hopes to EXPRESS First, that may get success
scr who will be faithful and efficient in the per-
Torrance of the duties of the Office you resign
second, personal friend I can have the same at
tachnent for. Your record has been satisfactory
to me, and know it will so prove to the country
at large. Yours very truly. U. S. GRANT,"
On the 22d of July. 1874, he was appointed
counsel for the United States Commission of Ala
bama Claims. At the end of his labors the judges
unanimously expressed their appreciation Of his
services in words of highest praise and eulogy.
Mr.. Creswell is now president the Citizens Ma
tional Bank, Washington, and vce-president of
the National Bank of Ekton, where he resides.
